Mindful Quarantine Notes from Arjuna:

Where We Begin:

First let's acknowledge that there's nowhere to get to. Everything we'll be discussing is already inside you. However, as life continues to life, we become disconnected from this reality as a birthright. Today we will be primarily focused on awareness, tools, practices and activities that support and foster our reconnection to our heart-center.

Let's start with taking a look at what's right in front of us. It's so easy to overlook some of the most valuable and accessible tools that are right in our reach, and even more so during these times. For example, breath, eye sight, hearing, movement, shelter(house), food, clean water, toilet paper and most importantly family and loved ones.

Key factors as an individual/ as household:

-Emotional & social intelligence - listening and speaking with emotional awareness

-Critical-thinking - including how all parties involved are impacted

-Resilience - reset and persevere

-Social responsibility - service to others e.g. add value, encouragement, affirmation

Now let's look at some other obvious circumstances that can potentially distract us from being present or aware of the blessings and beauty around us.

Mindfulness/ Awareness:

-family dynamics

-habits and patterns

-attitude

-thinking patterns or mindset

-wants vs needs

-energy

-language

-music

-social media engagement vs consumption

-diet

-sleep

-movement/ exercise

-belief values

-triggers

-childhood trauma & wounds

-personal life story and experiences

-finances

-age

-gender

-leadership in the home

-spiritual beliefs and practices

-hormones

-size of home/ capacity

-neighborhood/ environment

-health conditions

-limited accessibility to particular things, e.g., bathroom or personal space

-fear, the unknown, relationship with the world in general

Tools/ practices and activities :

Books/ literature

Heart-centered activities, e.g, cooking, games, art, documentaries, laughing and storytelling

Family games that allow for each other to open up and share

Feeling helpless - be helpful/ be of service

Yoga/ meditation/ exercising

Affirmations

Journaling

Creative writing

Singing/ dancing

Mirror work

Sticky notes to remind me of my power at all times

Diffuser/ essential oils

Himalayan Salt Lap

Sound machine e.g. water , birds

Word search

Activities that don't need devices

Allot times to process personal stuff, covid info., family and friends

Maintaining a balanced energy in the home

Scented candles
